Ahnold gives up Hummers. I'll leave the obvious joke alone only to state that Ahnold is becoming quite the disappointment, catering to environmental correctness and all that. If I had the money I'd drive 3 Hummers (at once) just to piss off the Club Sierra crowd. I wonder if Al has catered to environmental sensitivities?
Al Gore has spoken: The world must embrace a "carbon-neutral lifestyle." To do otherwise, he says, will result in a cataclysmic catastrophe. "Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb," warns the website for his film, An Inconvenient Truth. "We have just 10 years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tailspin."
For someone who says the sky is falling, he does very little. He says he recycles and drives a hybrid. And he claims he uses renewable energy credits to offset the pollution he produces when using a private jet to promote his film. (In reality, Paramount Classics, the film's distributor, pays this.) Public records reveal that as Gore lectures Americans on excessive consumption, he and his wife Tipper live in two properties: a 10,000-square-foot, 20-room, eight-bathroom home in Nashville, and a 4,000-square-foot home in Arlington, Va. (He also has a third home in Carthage, Tenn.) For someone rallying the planet to pursue a path of extreme personal sacrifice, Gore requires little from himself.
Gore has held these apocalyptic views about the environment for some time. So why, then, didn't Gore dump his family's large stock holdings in Occidental (Oxy) Petroleum? As executor of his family's trust, over the years Gore has controlled hundreds of thousands of dollars in Oxy stock. Oxy has been mired in controversy over oil drilling in ecologically sensitive areas. What a fucking drip. If I were to drive 3 Hummers at once and wear radioactive pants I would still pollute less than this fucktard.
Hit Maker: Hugo (pronounced "Yugo") "Edna the Arm" Chavez propels Noam Chomsky's book Hegemony or Survival or "Bush is a Chimp, Laura's a Stepford Wife, the Daughters are Sorority Sluts, Brit Hume's the Devil," to the top of the Bestseller list.

Greenleaf, Idaho -- All Americans have the right to bear arms. Some towns have even gone as far as to require each household to have a gun. Now a small Idaho town is contemplating a similar idea-- it's called the Civil Emergencies Ordinance. And although gun ownership is just one piece of this ordinance, it's the part that's getting the most attention.
An armed society is a polite society? We'll find out. Personally, I don't think people should be forced to own guns that don't want them, that's just as bad as the Gun Grabber crowd trying to take them from everyone.
Today's Hard News Story may be gleaned here.
Tom Cruise wants to eat Michael Moore's placenta. We're told all the time how the War on Terror is creating more terrorists, well it seems that the burgeoning ranks of terrorists are creating more soldiers:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Army is ending its best recruiting year since 1997 and expecting similar success in 2007, despite the weight of grim war news from Iraq, Army Secretary Francis Harvey said Thursday. In an Associated Press interview, Harvey said the Army will enlist its 80,000th soldier on Friday, reaching its goal for the year with eight days to spare. That is a considerable turnaround from last year when the Army missed its target for the first time since 1999 and by the widest margin in more than two decades.
I know, cycle of violence and all that, but I blame the Bush tax cuts....
